I have a user that is trying to search his inbox for emails from a certain email address. He has emails from that user going back until March of 2011. When he does a search in outlook 2010 it only shows emails going back do Dec 2011. Why arent the emails from March to Dec showing up? He uses "Advanced Find" and the Quick Search

i've run into this issue before. I had to close outlook, delete the OST file and allow outlook to recreate the file and reindex the emails. We had to let the indexing process run overnight since it only does it when the computer is idle but the next day the search tool worked like it should.
